shortcut for people who'd rather risk everything than do the work
means To act dishonestly or unfairly to gain an advantage, or to deceive someone — especially by breaking rules a deal or a promise.
from A shortened form of the Middle English 'escheat,' a legal term for property that reverted to the crown or a lord when someone died without heirs. Officials called escheators handled these reversions, and they earned such a reputation for crooked dealing that the very word for their work — clipped to 'cheat' — came to mean swindling. So the road from 'inheritance law' to 'rigging the game' was paved by the dishonesty of the people running it.
